85 < (1). Forest of Love -3 >

‘Dammit! By the way, they were a couple of monster-related things! ’

And the moment I realized that, I remembered the name of the map.

‘This is what the Forest of Love meant...' I'd rather fight the endless monsters... ’

Ian! Ian! Ian!

Ian suffered more than 10 minutes.) and reached the end of the forest road.

And there was a very large tree waiting for Ian.

“Wow…. ”

The tree was almost enormous enough to fit into the dimensional tower of the gripper, and Ian was overwhelmed by its magnificence and stood still for a moment to watch it.

But then, a strange voice called out to Ian.

“Are you Ian, who Gripper asked you to do? ”

A cheerful and beautiful voice that rolls like a marble.

Ian turns his head as if he was mesmerized by something and looks at the direction in which his voice was heard.

“Hmm…? I'm Ian... ”

The one who called Ian was a very beautiful woman.

At least the most beautiful NPC Ian has ever met in Kailan.

Ian's gaze shifts slightly to her ear.

‘With those pointy, long ears... They must be Elves. ’

Ian has only just learned that there is an Elven within Kailan's worldview.

No, not only Ian, but no one knew.

The Elves have never appeared on the continent of Colonar.

‘By the way, you had the option to increase the favor of the Elves among the ring options earlier, right? ’

Ian intuited that the woman in front of him was the ‘Iriel’ he was looking for. He took the ring out of his inventory and put it on lightly.

For the quest, she needed to raise her liking a little bit.

The elven woman approached Ian one day, smiling and reaching out to Ian.

“Nice to meet you. I'm Iriel. ”

Ian lowers his head slightly, holding hands.

“Nice to meet you, too, Iriel. I heard you're an excellent summoner. ”

“An excellent summoner, that's flattering. I'm just the head of this forest of love. ”

Ian greeted lightly, and immediately stopped to ask about the quest.

It was because I suddenly remembered what I had wondered all the way through the forest.

“But, sir, ”

“Yes?”

“I... I met a lot of monsters in the woods when I came here. ”

“Yes.”

“It seems that the monsters in the Forest of Love have been avoiding me a little. Why is that? ”

In Ian's question, Iriel hesitates a little.

However, he seemed to know the answer clearly.

Ian urged her.

“I'm curious. ”

And after a while, Ian was able to hear shocking answers from her.

“That's... probably because Ian didn't feel the energy of love. ”

Ian's pupils were shaken.

“Yes?”

“Hmm... I wonder if it smells like Solo... ”

“ …. ”

Ian cried... a lot.

Squeaking - Squeaking -

Norman Mountains, the largest snow mountain in the northern continent to date.

Deep in the mountains, Harin was gathering something hard.

“Sis, how much longer is it going to take? ”

And by such a Haryn, Kawyn grumbles.

Now, Karwin came with him because Harin, a little over 80, could not have been alone in the Norman Mountains with an average level of monsters over 100.

“Just wait a little longer. Almost there. ”

Harin came to the Norman Mountains to get the ingredients he needed to cook, and he was escorting and portering.

‘Obviously, there are plenty of gathering materials in the Norman Mountains to level up seasonings. ’

Higher quality ingredients were needed to advance to a higher Cooking Level, but gathering or hunting at a more dangerous hunting ground was essential.

Harin wanted to bring Ian, but he couldn't force him to come because of urgent quests, saying he couldn't do security or work for a while.

“No, but what do you need so many ingredients for? How much of what are you trying to make? ”

Seeing Harin gathering ingredients all over the snow mountain for hours, it seemed like he didn't understand.

“Because there are so many dishes to cook. ”

“Why? Even the dishes made for guild members' buffs are enough to last for a while..." ”

It was natural for Kawin to wonder.

In Kailan, food becomes less and less quality after a week of cooking.

There was no change in flavor or satiety, but buffed stats gradually decreased from one week to the next.

That's why we didn't need to make any more dishes for about a week after the guild members had cooked, because Harin was constantly gathering ingredients.

Moreover, Harin was gathering more various ingredients than he was making dishes for guild members.

“Is it because of your skills? ”

Harin grumbles.

“You don't need to know. ”

“Oh, come on. I'm escorting you like this. Are you serious? ”

Kawin with a pitiful face.

But Harin didn't blink an eye.

“You didn't come here because you wanted to. It was just your turn today. ”

The Lotus Guild has been watching the effects of cooking on hunting buffs, which is why high-level guilds have been helping Harin gather.

In fact, she was right that it was just Carwin's turn, and Carwin's unthinkable remarks tingle.

“I've been too hard on her lately. ”

“What.”

“Actually, you're still gathering to give me something more delicious, right? ”

“ …. ”

Harin is gathering silently without any answers.

Karwin urges Harren to answer.

“Oh, Sis, why is there no answer...! I'm the best friend in the guild. Aren't you?”

“ …. ”

Harren doesn't answer again, and Kawyn feels ominous.

‘No way, the same school doesn't make you any closer to Hers or Ian already! ’

Kawyn and Harin's relationship was not all that happened in Kailan.

Kawyn had built a friendship with Harin before Cailan, starting with another game.

Having Harin do Kailan was one of Kawyn's biggest influences.

The period of time I knew was more than several times different than Hers or Ian.

That's why I didn't think that Harin had already become more acquainted with his brothers.

‘I heard you've been taking care of Ian before, but do you like Ian? ’

It was Kawyn who hypothesized for a moment, but soon she shook her head.

‘You can't be so oblivious and like a big brother who plays games like a big dog all day. That doesn't make Ian very handsome. Then who the hell is it? ’

But at that moment, something popped into Carwin's brain.

"Was that the turtle?! ’

Kawyn recalls about a month ago.

Then I remembered Harin who was happy by handing the medicine meatballs to Ian's Summoner Much.

And as soon as that scene came to mind, he began to understand everything.

‘You must like the big turtle with lots of sisters or something. That's why I was so good to Ian! ’

Carwin's jealousy rises to life.

‘To lose to a soybean turtle the size of a scalp... It's a little cute... ’

Whether Kawyn says so or not, Harin gathers only ingredients for his hard work.

“So what should I do...? ”

Ian asks Iriel with a dead voice.

And there was a lot of lonely faces next to him.

W-

Ian felt a lot of sympathy for him for the first time.

‘Lots of people, I'll make you a girlfriend, too. ’

As an owner, I felt responsible for saying things about not having many girlfriends.

But he began to talk about the quest, whether he knew their grief or not.

“What did Gripper want from me? ”

Ian was in a state of sadness, but he cleared his mind because the quest in front of him was more important than Solo's.

“He wants me to learn how to breed summoners from him. ”

“Well... If it's about breeding summoned water, it's definitely something I can help you with. But do we know why we need to breed the Summoner first? ”

Ian told Eriel about the quests he had received from the Gripper and how they were progressing.

And the fact that Gripper wants to breed the Ancient Summoners.

After Ian's explanation, Iriel nods.

It was a brighter face.

“If that's the case, I'm sure I'll need my abilities. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

“You did a great job, Ian. ”

I was talking about restoring the ancient extinct summoners to the Continent of Colonar.

Iriel takes a few moments to speak.

“The reason I asked Ian why... is because I'm afraid my abilities will be exploited. ”

“Abuse?”

Iriel nods.

“With my abilities, Ian will be able to artificially breed summoners. But it's against nature's providence. ”

Ian doesn't quite understand what he's saying, but he's waiting for her next words.

“It's true that all animals can breed naturally with a pair of female love, and Ian probably knows that. ”

“Well, yeah. ”

“But that sequence takes a long time. I can give Ian the ability to shorten that time and process. ”

“ …? ”

Reducing breeding time.

Very strange, I think (?) In Iriel's description, the sheep balls of Ian's mother solo turned slightly red.

‘Well, what...! It's too hard for me...! ’

Apart from Ian, who was confused, Iriel's explanation followed.

“And I asked him why he needed this ability in order to abuse it and raise summoners like livestock. ”

Ian also understood this explanation.

Obviously, if I had the ability to breed summoners of my own accord, I might be able to think about raising summoners like livestock.

Ian nods, shaking his head.

“Th-that's it. So you're going to teach me that ability now? ”

But it couldn't have been so easy to get abilities.

Iriel shakes his head.

“But to learn it from me, Ian's ability is still lacking. ”

“I'm incompetent? ”

Iriel grins his head.

“I'm sure Ian is an excellent summoner... But I need to understand more about romance. ”

Iriel who kills Ian one more time for a countryside assassination.

And Ian's vision reminded me of the quest window.
